Over Confidence Or Error?-corfe Castle

By S C Sharma | 15-Jul-2018

The way shortest priced Corfe Castle rated 64 points lost to a far inferior rated horse raises many doubts, eyebrows and questions the manner in which this horse was ridden. Trevor took his own decision or instructed by the trainer to ride this horse off the pace and remain last in poor four horse field till entering the straight and than charge the horse to catch the front leaders when everything seems impossible. Whether this is overconfidence or error of pace judgement the question needs answer? The timing for seven furlong race 1.26.03 is almost the timing of horses rated between 15 to 35.Orenda rated 32 cut 1.26.71 timing, very near to the timing of Desperado who beat Corfe Castle. CC given two mock races and was working well too on local track after winning Poonawala multi million race and was highly rated for classic races. This poor performance needs lot more introspection by the connections for classic placements.

Overrated horse gone wrong and still feeling his legs best distance 1200 meters. Best to play ONLY in Hyderabad as a handicaper. Save your money by not backing this ordinary finished horse.

It's not a overconfident. It's about race fixing. Trevor is 'A'class jockey he know how to handle.

I agree clearly poor riding after a good show in mock race. Maybe over confidence by the rider.

We all had given C.C but the odds were beyond majority of us

It is very funny that a horse clocks 1.25.7in a mock race eased up near the end and here wanting to even race. The time shows NOT ON JOB.

Race commentator very clearly stated the winner shortening his stride but than trevor as per his instructions also did the same;

There was no error or over confidence by Trevor . this is what the connections and trainer wanted, See his HYD record on short priced favs.


Answer by such owners '' we have bought horse and spend money so we decide not the public''

Correction: Corfe castle rated 62 not 64 and Orenda timing 1.26.79 and not 1.26.71. I regret the error.
